Exercise 5.2 - Solution

- Wembley, 25 November 1953: Hungary 6, England 3.
- Budapest, 23 May 1954: Hungary 7, England 1 (still England's heaviest defeat).

Why both mattered: a single result at Wembley could be called a fluke or a bad day. The 7-1 return, with the World Cup close, showed the gap was real and removed that argument.
